Documentation Guide
===================
Building the Docs
"""""""""""""""""
Building requires python, creates a virtualenv (``.venv``) which has all the
necessary tools.
Run ``make html`` to generate html documentation in ``_build/html``.
Run ``make reload`` to get a live reload in your browser (refreshes on document
save).
Run ``make latexpdf`` to generate html documentation in ``_build/latex``.
Requires that you have a recent LaTeX installation and ``latexmk`` installed
Writing Docs
""""""""""""
Docs written using sphinx: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/
Documentation is done in reStructuredText or Markdown, but only ``.rst`` files
can contain embedded diagrams.
Guides for RST:
- https://docutils.sourceforge.io/docs/ref/rst/restructuredtext.html
- https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/index.html
RST has multiple heading formats possible, the ones we're using are in the
order for the HTML h1-h5: ``=``, ``-`` ``"``, ``'``, ``^``.
Checkout, modify and test
"""""""""""""""""""""""""
.. sourcecode:: shell
$ git clone ssh://gerrit.opencord.org:29418/voltha-docs
$ cd voltha-docs
$ vi *.rst
$ make html # doc generation
$ make lint # syntax checking
$ make test # syntax check *.rst files
$ make docs # generate website pages
$ "$BROWSER" _build/html/index.html # BROWSER='firefox'
Interactive editing: real time updates
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Another useful convenience makefile target to try is the reload target.
"make reload" will invoke the sphinx-reload program, spawn a web page for
viewing html documentation pages followed by periodic regeneration of page
content.
.. sourcecode:: shell
$ git clone ssh://gerrit.opencord.org:29418/voltha-docs
$ cd voltha-docs
$ make reload
$ vi *.rst
make lint (syntax checking)
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""
- `make help (pending) <https://gerrit.opencord.org/c/voltha-system-tests/+/33306>`
.. sourcecode:: shell
$ make help
$ USAGE: make target [, target(s)]
$
$ [LINT]
$ lint-json Syntax check json sources
$ lint-python Syntax check using pylint and flake8
$ lint-robot Syntax check robot sources using rflint
$ lint-yaml Syntax check yaml source using yamllint
$
$ make lint
make html
"""""""""
- Install python packages: sphinx, pylint, flake8
- Invoke sphinx to generate documentation.
